MODERN DAY USES FOR MAGNETS

Magnets have been used for thousands of years by many cultures throughout the world, often for therapeutic purposes. Today magnets are incorporated in industrial machinery, consumer products, computers, and even transportation. Industrial Magnets are used in auto manufacturing and aerial manufacturing industries to hold and transport large metal components. Electromagnets are used in industrial conveyor systems, and by cranes to pick up and drop heavy loads.

We utilize magnet technology as part of our health clinic designs as magnets offer increased adaptability and flexibility to the end user. The steel surfaces of our walls allow everything a health space requires including monitors, wall mount workstations, inter-diagnostic panels, lead apron racks, sharps containers, glove boxes, paper towels holder, etc., to be mounted via magnets specifically designed to hold the corresponding weight.

When there is a need to repurpose a room or adjust equipment to meet regulatory codes, there is no need to drill into the walls. Our innovative magnet technology is strong and safe and allows for the design, branding, or function of a room to be changed easily by just adding or removing the necessary items. No mess, no holes, no hassle.

Patient Privacy

For health care projects, MMA utilizes sound attenuation materials in conjunction with our wall system’s Sound Transmission Class (STC) rating, air exchange grilles in the ceilings, and sound masking systems to address patient privacy, HIPAA compliance regulations and health facility accreditation standards.

Sound Attenuation Materials

Sound attenuation materials are used to reduce the transmission of sound between two spaces. These materials are especially useful in healthcare facilities where patient privacy is critical. There are several types of sound attenuation materials, including sound barriers, sound-absorbing materials, and sound isolation products. These materials work by absorbing, reflecting, or diffusing sound waves. To maximize patient privacy, we utilize 1-3/4 inch think ceiling tiles and lay insulation over them for additional noise absorption.
